TL;DR: The nanorods with unusually high optical bandgap for a VO2 material are effective in enhancing the thermal performance of ethylene glycol nanofluids over a wide temperature range as is indicated by the temperature dependent thermal conductivity measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of fascinatingly shaped nanostructures, e.g. seeds, ellipsoidal, rods and leaves, were obtained and applied as nanofluids (water medium) showed their ability to enhance the thermal conductivity of water to a noticeable degree (above 40%) at high temperatures, even at very small concentrations, bespeaking their applicability in cooling fluids.

TL;DR: In this paper, a template-free in situ polymerization of aniline on WS2 nanosheets was performed for gas sensing applications, and the optimal performance was shown by the PANI/WS2 (w/w 10%) sample.

TL;DR: NiO nanostructures synthesized via a simple wet chemical solution method with varying calcination temperatures registered excellent thermal conductivity enhancement in the room temperature region and 125% enhancement at higher temperatures, establishing NiO to be a top-draw contender for high-performance heat transfer fluids.

TL;DR: In this paper, hierarchical flowerlike zinc stannate architectures have been fabricated using sol-gel spin coating process and X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the formation of zinc stanate with minimum crystallite size ∼7nm.
